Is Ideal Power Inc. (NASDAQ:IPWR) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating Ideal Power Inc. at current levels.
A $66M semiconductor bet on B-TRAN, the bidirectional switch that could eat a slice of every EV, solar inverter, and grid protection socket.
Where IPWR is headed
Ideal Power is not really a semiconductor company yet. It is a physics thesis wearing a ticker. The thesis is that a truly bidirectional bipolar junction transistor (B-TRAN) can replace two IGBTs or two SiC MOSFETs stitched anti-parallel, cut conduction losses roughly in half, and do it with silicon rather than exotic wide-bandgap wafers. If that plays out, B-TRAN slots into solid-state circuit breakers, EV contactors, hybrid inverters, and grid-tie storage systems, each of which is currently taxed by the crude workaround of pairing unidirectional devices.
